“How are we going to live in these troubled times? There’s
really only one answer. We have to become saints…so here we have the dilemma,
that we have to become saints to be happy, and yet how be one? Well, the Church
has given us a saint for our times, and that is, the picture of this young nun,
St. Therese, who gave us a way, first of all, that is very simple…she really
had two rules. One was never to seek the satisfaction of the self, and
secondly, to do everything, to bear everything, out of love for our Lord…the
method of the little flower was to integrate sanctity with what we are doing….a
saint is one who makes Christ loveable…it does not require much time to make a
saint, it requires only, much love.”
